Description
In the 1930s, the Soviet Union found itself on the brink of war with Japan, whose imperial ambitions stretched from Lake Baikal and Primorye to China and European colonies in the South Seas. Fierce military clashes at Khasan and Khalkhin Gol were a test of strength and a desire to determine the power of the northern neighbor. The crushing defeat in these battles and the military superiority of the USSR in the Far East forced the military leadership of the empire to turn to the South. Under these conditions, intelligence activity was of decisive importance for making optimal and correct decisions. Thanks to the professionalism of intelligence officers, the USSR was able to transfer military units to the Far East in a timely manner, and this kept Japan from attacking, which at that time was bogged down in a protracted war with China.
The book of the military historian E. A. Gorbunov, based on a huge array of documents, tells about the secret war in the Far East in the 20-30s of the XX century.
